Baker MUST have a pristine clean pocket at all times or his anxiety just takes over and he just SUCKS !! And most of the time with QBs who suffer with CPD(collapsing pocket syndrome) their SUCK never goes away. 
You are either born with BIG BRASS WRECKING BALLS or Daisy BBs when it comes to playing QB in the NFL and so far Baker this year has been shooting his Red Ryder gun.  |
Baker had a bad OL at OU for awhile and came up with big play after big play in spite of those issues, the size of his nuts notwithstanding. He also had OL problems last year and still produced big plays and led his team to more wins than the Browns earned in the last five years. His two biggest issues this year are his OL play, which has been historically bad, and his OC/HC.
He needs to stop trying to do too much; if the OL will only give him 2 seconds to throw the ball, then he needs to just take the 2 seconds, throw short and work the sticks. Lean on the running game which has been decent with N. Chubbs. He's trying to hit homeruns, which is admirable, but unrealistic with the OL and the play-calling he's been working with.
